Literature Text

The television goes static, as it often does in times of bad weather.
I stare at it, not blinking, not moving, calmly waiting for the entertainment to return.
I wait, sometimes longer than other times.
I know it is not gone forever, because I invested myself into this entertainment.
We bought the television, the cable, we pay the bills.
It belongs to us. The picture is owed to us.

I invested myself, and was owed something in return, which I did not receive in full.
I keep staring out in space, waiting for the universe to hand back what was taken away.
All the time, effort, struggling, all just to get static in the end, with no promise of it coming back.
Where is my love story?
Tiny dots of black and white are clouding it out, and I realize,
it was never mine to begin with.
The world owes us nothing.
